Answer:

  c.  35.34015106

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.

If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

__

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.

The angle is (in degrees) ...

  88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600

  ≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees

A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...

  tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614

Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.

The scale factor on a scale drawing of machine part is 15 1 /8. If the part is 3 7/8 inches long as the drawing, how long is the
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Option D) 58 39/64 inches​

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is

15\frac{1}{8}

convert to an improper fraction

15\frac{1}{8}=\frac{15*8+1}{8}=\frac{121}{8}

That means

121 in in the actual, represent 8 in on a scale drawing

To find how long is the actual part for 3 7/8 inches long as the drawing

Apply proportion

First convert to an improper fraction

3\frac{7}{8}=\frac{3*8+7}{8}=\frac{31}{8}

\frac{121}{8}\frac{actual}{drawing} =\frac{x}{(31/8)}\frac{actual}{drawing}\\ \\x=121(31/8)/8\\ \\x=\frac{3,751}{64}\ in  

convert to mixed number

\frac{3,751}{64}\ in=\frac{3,712}{64} +\frac{39}{64} =58\frac{39}{64}\ in

Find an exponential function of the form y = ab* that passes through the points (0,4)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

given an exponential function in the form y = ab^{x}

to find a and b use the coordinate points it passes through

using (0, 4 ) , then

4 = ab^{0} [ b^{0} = 1 ] , that is

a = 4 , so

y = 4b^{x}

using (2, 100 )

100 = 4b² ( divide both sides by 4 )

25 = b² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{25} = b , that is

b = 5

then exponential function is

y = 4 . 5^{x}
